Avalon answer

Bring your own AI provider

By Avalon team · Updated June 29, 2026

Avalon supports model choice because email work carries different privacy, cost, and compliance requirements. Use Avalon-hosted AI, ChatGPT sign-in, your own supported provider key, or a compatible custom HTTPS endpoint while keeping the same approval and context controls.

Why model choice matters

Some users want the fastest hosted setup. Others need direct provider billing or an endpoint managed by their organization. Avalon keeps the mailbox experience consistent while letting those users choose a supported model route.

Controls around AI context

Avalon sends minimized context for enabled AI features and keeps attachment processing limited to workflows that need it. Model choice helps, and approval gates, retention rules, and audit records also keep mailbox automation safe.

Common questions

Can I bring my own AI model key?

Yes. Avalon supports bring-your-own model access for users who want to provide a supported provider key or route requests through a compatible custom HTTPS endpoint. Model choice does not remove Avalon’s approval and context controls.

Does Avalon require hosted AI?

No. Hosted AI is available for users who want the fastest setup, but Avalon also supports customer-controlled model routes. That matters for users with cost, privacy, compliance, or infrastructure requirements that do not fit a single hosted model path or vendor boundary.
